Beyonce has shut down the rumour mill once and for all and confirmed she’s NOT PREGNANT. Did you hear? NOT PREGNANT!

The curvy star was forced to quash pregnancy rumours after E! News claimed ‘multiple sources’ had confirmed she’s expecting her second baby. Trashy magazines and gossip sites had a field day with the news until Queen Bey herself decided to put an end to them on Instagram, posting:

“I can’t stop the rumors from starting, and I can’t really change people’s minds who believe them, all I can do is sit back and laugh at these low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me”.

The whispers really started flying around after Beyonce was forced to cancel a concert in Belgium due to illness. Many put two and two together and came up with five, sparking even more innuendo.

To add weight to her denial statement, the singer flaunted her flat-as-a-tack stomach on stage over the weekend.

It is certainly no secret that Beyonce wants more children. In the April issue of Shape magazine, she spoke openly about her and hubby Jay-Z’s plans to expand her family, revealing that she “absolutely” wants more kids and will try for a second after her world tour. We think this feisty mama has every right to go public with her baby news when and if SHE feels comfortable.

Beyonce isn’t the only celebrity to suffer baby bump speculation at the hand of the press. Jen Aniston, Angelina and even 23-year-old Kristen Stewart have all had to dispel a pregnancy rumour or two.
